Today is Festivus. You are supposed to air grievances.

I, too, am wrapping and need to cook something.

Bah humbug. Until when i see my family, today and christmas day. Other than that: Bah with a triple dose of humbuggery.

Perfect!

November 25 we ordered a remote control helicopter for the boy for Christmas. November 26 we got a noticed it had shipped. Still not here. Contacted Amazon, and was told it was shipped from Hong Kong. It's literally on the slow boat from China.

It was to be the centerpiece of gifts for the boy. So we needed a plan B. Went to Best Buy this afternoon for a video game he wanted, but they didn't have it. So we got another one instead and waited in a very very long line to pay for the thing.

I just finished wrapping somewhere between 25 and 30 presents, and have a painful knot in my back from the effort.

Consider the grievances aired.
